Matthew Linder

RHP Matt Linder became friends with projected first-rounder Chris Lubanski when they both participated in the Field of Dreams tournament in Cooperstown, N.Y., at the age of 12. The two became teammates for two years on the Pennsylvania Lugnuts. Linder, who broke his elbow when he was 11, has a projectable body and throws in the high 80s. He struggled when the Canadian junior national team was in Florida in April and rebounded with a good showing at a Major League Scouting Bureau camp in Winnipeg. He has a loose arm action, with average command of an 87-91 mph fastball and 76-79 curve.
